Quiet Years

Famous quotes containing the words quiet and/or years:

“Young soul put off your flesh, and come
With me into the quiet tomb,
Our bed is lovely, dark, and sweet;
The earth will swing us, as she goes,
Beneath our coverlid of snows,”

But none has merited my fear,
And none has quite escaped my smile.”
